Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs placed on suicide watch at NYC jail as he awaits trial on alleged sex crimes: report

Sean “Diddy” Combs has been placed on suicide watch inside the Brooklyn jail where he awaits trial for his alleged sex crimes as the 54-year-old’s mental state is unclear, according to a report.

The rapper being added to the watch is a “preventative measure” days after he was arrested on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution, sources told People.

Officials ruled the 54-year-old is shocked and his mental state is unclear, the outlet reported.

Inmates are placed on suicide watch as part of “supervisory precautions taken for suicidal inmates that require frequent observation,” according to the US Department of Justice National Institute of Correction.

It was not revealed how long Combs has been or will remain under suicide watch, or if he is suicidal.

News of Combs’ mental state comes days after federal agents arrested him at the Park Hyatt New York on Monday night.

Combs is being held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center after being denied bail and house detention by Manhattan federal Magistrate Judge Robyn Tarnofsky.

The notorious jail has long been plagued by tales of “barbaric” and “reprehensible” conditions for inmates — who have included sex abusers R. Kelly and Ghislaine Maxwell.

The facility — which holds pre-trial detainees as well as those serving short federal sentences — currently holds roughly 1,700 inmates. Its capacity is reportedly almost 3,000.

Lawyers for Combs argued that the conditions inside the MDC are not for the rap mogul.

“Just earlier this summer, an inmate was murdered,” they wrote, according to the Daily Beast. “At least four inmates have died by suicide there in the past three years.”

The hip-hop superstar was held without bail Tuesday after he pleaded not guilty to the three-count indictment.

Combs is accused of forcing women into sick “Freak Off” sex sessions with male prostitutes that were often recorded while the music producer masturbated, the bombshell indictment alleges.

“Freak Offs were elaborate and produced sex performances that Combs arranged, directed, masturbated during, and often electronically recorded,” the court papers allege.

Combs would allegedly lure the women into his orbit — often under the pretense of a romantic relationship — before doling out drugs to “keep the victims obedient and compliant,” the indictment charges.

During the March raids on Combs’ homes in Miami and Los Angeles, federal agents discovered 1,000 bottles of lubricant and three AR-15s.
